Its still a little young to tell for sure but I'm gonna say male. Usually you can tell by the dorsal and anal fins. If the come to a exaggerated point its a male if they are rounded female. As it gets older if its a male these points will grow longer and longer and its belly will become more and more red. Females tummys font get as red as males and they are kinda dull looking. However for now I'm gonna say male give him a month or to feed him well and repost a pic or private message me and well get an update on the sex to be sure :)
